Rich,
I have a Barracuda ST12550. I have a BT445 VLB controller. I
benchmarked the drive under DOS using two programs. The first one I used was
from Core Technologies core v2.92, and the second was Checkit ver 3.0.
Core 6.5meg/s
Checkit 1.2meg/s
I have been told that checkit reports a more resanoable transfer rate than
other benchmark programs.
If you have some benchmark program that runs under NetBSD I would be glad to
bench it and let you know how well it performs.

Thanks
